Shakira Ousia

your biggest curiosity in this moment might be who am I and why am I here? what am I creating and what's my intention behind it?
My name's Shakira Ousia. 
Im a human
an artist
an explorer of different expressions and different dimensions.
I'm alive just like you. 
my biggest curiosities are emotion and feeling, 
I like to study my own consciousness
​I observe how the smallest difference in one thing changes my entire perception of it. 
I like to experiment with my reactions, my fears, my triggers
my humanness
id like to discover a deeper understanding of my being
of my purpose
my aliveness, 
​for you and I who are one. 
​I like to feel and express all ways humanly possible,
​I also like to explore within. 
​I wonder how deep into myself I am able to go 
and when I reach a deeper part within myself I ask
who am I
​why am I here
​what is the purpose in this experience
sometimes its nothing but other times its something
​and even the nothing brings me questions and deeper curiosity of who am I?
​
​I let my curiosity guide my art mostly, 
I don't question any of my expressions
​I like to let them flow out of me rather than contemplate what I want to show
​I rather let my consciousness reveal. 
my body is simply the receiver
​why am I here?
I think this is the hardest question of all, 
right?
​I mean, why are any of us really here? 
what is this human experience contributing to, 
or maybe the question is what do we want to contribute to?
as beautifully different as we all are
we all serve a different purpose based on our human experiences
 
​I hope my art in some way brings the viewer something unfamiliar but familiar. 
​

I hope to use my studies of emotions to express earths suffering.
I want my art to capture

the same way I like to study my own self, 
I like ti explore different consciousness. 
I like to challenge myself and see how well I can tap into others human emotions and connect on a soul level. 
how could I be able to better express for someone else, ,
how can I remove myself out of myself and into another?
why is self expression so important to me?
when people are their true selves they become free
they are less afraid and more open
the more we crack ourselves open the better we are able to connect with one another
we are less self submerged and our raw awareness openly shifts towards others. 
once we heal ourselves through self expression
through knowing and understanding ourselves we are able to do the same for others
